Kerosene Forced Air Heater User’s Manual
®
Fueling The Heater:
Kerosene (K-1)
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly
suggested that K-1 kerosene be used, especially in
temperatures lower than 26°F (-3°C). K-1 kerosene
has been refined to virtually eliminate contaminants,
such as sulfur, which can cause a rotten egg odor
during the operation of the heater. Using diesel fuel
can cause excess soot production. Do not use Bio-
Diesel as this fuel will damage your heater’s seals and
filter.
- CSA certified for use with K-1 kerosene, no. 1 & no.
2 diesel, JP8/Jet A Fuel, no. 1 and no. 2 fuel oil.
DO NOT use any fuel that is not approved above.
- NEVER use fuel such as, benzene, alcohol, white
gas, camp stove fuel, paint thinners, or other oil
compounds in this heater. THESE ARE VOLATILE
FUELS THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
- NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene
should be stored in a well ventilated area outside
the living area.
- NEVER store kerosene in direct sunlight or near a
source of heat.
- NEVER use kerosene that has been stored from one
season to the next. Kerosene deteriorates over time.
OLD KEROSENE WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN
THIS HEATER.
NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored in a blue
container that is clearly marked “Kerosene.” Never
store kerosene in a red container. Red is associated
with gasoline.
Ventilation:
- Risk of indoor air pollution and Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning. Use heater only in well ventilated
areas.
- Refer to Safety Information on page 3 for
information about Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
- ALWAYS
provide a fresh air opening in the heated
space of at least three square feet (2,800 sq. cm)
for each 100,000 Btu / Hr. (29 kW) of heater
output. Provide a larger opening if more heaters are
being used.
